Symbolism and ethics of Christianity became the main topic of the recent Russian language film lesson, the Big Asia website reports, referring to TASS. Students of Jawaharlal Nehru University use Russian films during their Russian language classes. The project is implemented by the representative office of Rossotrudnichestvo in New Delhi.
As Russkiy Mir reported, once a month Russian language students are offered to watch one of the short films by Russian directors. This is followed by a discussion, learning new words and a quiz. Ivan Sosnin's "Moscow - Vladivostok" was chosen as the first experiment. It was released in 2019. According to the organizers, the students responded very vividly to the film. They were very enthusiastic about the project. Film screenings create a special atmosphere of cultural exchange, which turns into an additional incentive to express one's thoughts.
For the second time, students and teachers watched the "Keys" tape. The film was shot by VGIK student Alexander Fomichev. The painting became his graduation work. Together with the Indian youth, the rector of the parish of the Holy Apostle Thomas in New Delhi, Father Dmitry Kulakov, became a spectator. The clergyman has no doubts that philologists should understand the symbols of Christianity. Otherwise, he is sure, foreigners will not get to the true meaning of the works of Russian literature and cinema.
Associate Professor at the Center for Russian Studies at Kiran Singh Verma University compared short films to messages from good friends: the viewer admires the country, empathizes with the characters, notices problems and thinks about their solution.
